Got through about 80% of this movie for the sake of catching its sequel with friends in theaters. Still was bored out my mind and couldn’t pay attention enough to remember anything that was going on to make it even worthwhile to bother getting through until the end to feel properly primed or even really interested at all to watch Dune 2 right after.

May have to table either film for the future, and if the Dune franchise is as incredible as…

The most stomach-churning and unnecessarily gory film I’ve ever seen. 

Its dependence on shock factor and subversive, graphic content totally diminished any of its supposed artistic or allegoric value for me. 

I read a review on r/horror praising Raw as a feminist ode of female empowerment and sexual liberation. This (clearly vag-deprived) Redditor also insinuated that if this film intimidates you, you ought to do some soul-searching and ask yourself what you ~truly~ feel so threatened by.

Call me crazy…
